pin (P). This plug MUST be used with a
grounded outlet (Q).
IMPORTANT: The outlet being used must
be installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
2. Ensure the outlet being used has the
same configuration as the grounded
plug. DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER.
3. Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do not use if there
are signs of damage.
4. If these grounding instructions are not completely understood,
or if in doubt as to whether the compressor is properly
grounded, have the installation checked by a qualified
electrician.
DANGER: Risk of electrical shock. IMPROPER GROUNDING
CAN RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
• Do not modify the plug provided. If it does not fit the available
outlet, a correct outlet should be installed by a qualified
electrician.
• Repairs to the cord set or plug MUST be made by a qualified
electrician.

Extension Cords

If an extension cord must be used, be sure it is:
• a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug, and
a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the product
• in good condition
• plug is not worn
• no longer than 50 feet (15.2 m)
• 12 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire size increases as gauge number
decreases. 10 AWG and 8 AWG may also be used. DO NOT
USE 14 OR 16 AWG.)
O
NOTICE: The use of an undersized extension cord will cause volt-
age to drop resulting in power loss to the motor and overheating.
Q
Instead of using an extension cord, increase the working reach of
the air hose by attaching another length of hose to its end. Attach
additional lengths of hose as needed. Always use a minimum 3/8"
P
(9.5 mm) or greater air hose rated at 300 psi.

Voltage and Circuit Protection

Refer to the Voltage and Minimum Branch Circuit Requirements
under Specifications.
CAUTION: Certain air compressors can be operated on a
15 amp circuit if the following conditions are met.
• Voltage supply to circuit must comply with the National
Electrical Code.
• Circuit is not used to supply any other electrical needs.
• Extension cords comply with specifications.
• Circuit is equipped with a 15 amp circuit breaker or 15 amp
time delay fuse. NOTE: If compressor is connected to a cir-
cuit protected by fuses, use only time delay fuses. Time delay
fuses should be marked "D" in Canada and "T" in the U.S.
If any of the above conditions cannot be met, or if operation of the
compressor repeatedly causes interruption of the power, it may be
necessary to operate it from a 20 amp circuit. It is not necessary to
change the cord set.
